In late January, Martinez was sentenced in the Montezuma County District Court in five cases. Six others were dismissed as part of a global plea bargain.
During sentencing, Martinez appeared from a 60-day inpatient treatment program via Webex. He pleaded guilty to charges including vehicular eluding, third-degree assault as an act of domestic violence, violation of a protection order, theft less than $300 and underage DUI.
The sentences in the case are expected to run concurrently. The longest probation is 24 months, and no sentence included jail time.
